Chapter 717 - Final Battle - Part 7 (1/2)
The Left-Wing Guardian Lorian and King Emerson walked side by side with Headmaster Larry and Archduke Semea following them. They were riding horses, following the road ahead of them with a hundred and fifty thousand armies behind them.
'I don't expect Robert to pull out all our reserve armies from the other worlds.' The Left-Wing Guardian Lorian thought to himself. He felt like Robert had a hidden agenda by pulling out their secret ace. He then glanced at the giant trees to his right. 'I think he wants to take over Gigante Forest as well by drawing all our armies. He wants to use this as an excuse to conquer the tribes who attacked their cities. He is too greedy and overly ambitious. We haven't taken care of the Revolution Army, yet he is thinking of attacking Gigante Forest.'
”How much longer before we arrive at Bareham City, Sir Larry?” Archduke Semea opened up a conversation as the horses' hoof ran onto the ground, leaving a trail of dust in the air.
”I am not sure, but we should be close to Bareham City.” Larry looked around, searching for something that made Archduke Semea curious. ”What are you looking for, Sir Larry? Do you find something?”
Hearing that, Guardian Lorian and King Emerson turned their heads. They were curious as well after hearing the conversation. Headmaster Larry looked around and shook his head. ”I don't know, but I feel like we are being watched. That feeling is getting stronger as we get closer to Bareham City.”
”I feel uneasy for a while, but I don't know the cause. Now you mention it, I indeed feel like being watched.” The Left-Wing Guardian Lorian scanned the surroundings, trying to find the source of his uneasiness.
”Maybe because we are in a war, and you are being too cautious, Uncle Lorian.” King Emerson did not share the same sentiment and tried to shrug it off because of the nervousness. He did not feel like being watched, and he was confident with his a hundred and fifty thousand armies.
Archduke Semea felt the same as the other two, but he did not say as he did not want to make the situation worse. Just like that, they continued the journey in silence while Left-Wing Guardian Lorion and Headmaster Larry kept looking around them. It was disturbing for sure, but King Emerson had no way to stop his Uncle.
After another few minutes of the trip, a group of three approached them. They were wearing all brown from top to bottom. They were the scout team of the Lionax Kingdom who secured the perimeter area for King Emerson and his force.
King Emerson stopped the horse as the scout team arrived in front of him, kneeling. ”We greet your Majesty. We are from the scout team and here to make a report.”
”Mnnn. Speak, do you find anything suspicious?” King Emerson responded with his dignified voice.
”The scout team did not find anything suspicious or even watch posts from the enemy. We have secured a twenty kilometers area, and we are safe to march to Bareham City.” The leader of the scout team reported. It was weird for them not to find anything, even a watch post from the enemy.
”Good. That means they don't seem aware that we are attacking them. How long does it take for us to reach Bareham City?” King Emerson asked the scout. He planned to launch a surprise attack, so better to move quietly than rush up.
”We will arrive in ten minutes by walking. It's not that far away from here, Your Majesty.” The scout leader responded respectfully.
